I was trained at Rycotewood College in Oxfordshire where I achieved a Diploma in Furniture Design and Craftsmanship with a distinction in furniture making. Also whilst there I was awarded the Harris and the Laurie Turner Trophy for excellence and won the Maples Award for Excellence in his final year.
I started making furniture in a small workshop just outside Chester in 1987, moving to my current premises three years later. It is situated in a converted barns, nestling in the hillside in the beautiful vale of Llangollen, North Wales.
